| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with the laurel wreath clearly defined around the head. A Greek legend encircles the bust, reading ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor as Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus. The flan shows irregular edges with a small piercing hole visible at the top, a post-antique alteration. Surface exhibits dark brown patina with areas of green encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |
